Check Content

This validation procedure is performed on both the MDM Administration Console and the LG Android device. On the MDM console, do the following: 1. Ask the MDM administrator to display the list of unapproved core and preinstalled applications in the “Application Blacklist Configuration (launch)" setting in the MDM console. 2. Verify the list contains LG Browser and Chrome. 3. Verify the policy has been assigned to all groups. On the LG Android device: 1. Attempt to launch the native Android Browser (LG Browser) and Chrome browser on the device. 2. Verify the browsers will not run and the following message is displayed: Application is disabled by server policy. If on the MDM console the "Application Blacklist Configuration (launch)" setting is not set up with the Android/LG Browser and Chrome browser or on the LG Android device the native Android browser and Chrome browser can be launched, this is a finding.

Fix Text

Configure the mobile device to disable non-FIPS-validated browsers. On the MDM Administration Console, add "Browser" and "Chrome" browser to the application list in the "Application Blacklist Configuration (launch)" setting. Note: This requirement is Not Applicable for the COPE#2 Activation Type.
